    Guy on the left is an American. Guy at the bar is a Brit. Guy with his hands on his hips is Paul, the British husband of the owner.

    There's Friends Bar, of course, too. Robbie is very ill in a BKK hospital but Ducky battles on. A nice quiet place with a snooker table.

    I have a feeling that the pic of S&C is not recent. It's up for sale if anyone wants it.

    The pics of S&C were taken in January of 2007.

    I've never been to Friends. It seems I always get there before Noon or on Wednesday....

    Irish Pub

    Met an old friend at the Irish Pub last night. This is a very nice bar located right next door to the Sima Thani hotel. It has the nicest interior of any bar in Korat, a fine sound system, powerful air conditioning and a passel of lovely ladies. What it lacks is customers.

    I go in there about once a week for a few beers, but rarely anything to eat.

    We ordered some finger food last evening and I hate to say it was disappointing. The Neua Dad Diaow was quite bland, as were the seafood satay and Kai Jiao (what do you want for Chinese food?). At least the Yam Talay was properly spicy.

    Anyway, my buddy was impressed with the bar and furnishing and agrees with me that it could be a great spot with the proper management....

    I generally go at 5 PM when it opens and leave by 6 PM as I'm on my bicycle and like to get home before dark. It is very rare for me to see another customer in the bar; I'm almost always the only one.

    The only exception to this is when foreign military guys are in town. The place is very popular with them. Cobra Gold is on now, so there are quite a few short haired American teenagers about. Do they qualify as "punters"? (Frankly, I'm not sure what that word means, anyway.)

    I believe, "A punter" was originally a gambler laying a bet on horse & dog racing, now its sort of evolved into a general term for a customer.

    In that case, very few punters, at least at the time I'm there. However, given the fact that one waitress could easily handle the drink orders the presence of the other 11 implies activity beyond the delivery of beverages.

    OK I see mmmmmmmmmm, you think they could be persuaded for a bit of horizontal dancing ? provided with sufficient incentive of course.
    I gotta say thast not normal for a Irish Bar as everyone knows Irishmen (like Marmite) are too drunk to fvck.

    ^I suspect that's why most of them are there. It also may account for the fact that the babe population at this Irish Bar increases significantly when the flyboys are in town.
